Central Campus

Des Moines, Iowa

To reverse the troubling trend of fewer and fewer students pursuing majors in STEM disciplines at the college level, the Iowa Energy and Sustainability Academy (IESA) cross-curricular class provides rigorous STEM education offerings. Vernier’s grant will help the district by empowering students from diverse backgrounds to employ hands-on innovation and problem-solving strategies in order to critically understand the local and global impact of using Earth’s resources.
